From Peter's warm greeting at the airport after 27 hours of travel, to the excellent welcome of champagne on arrival and thoroughly great service from Zuzana, Dasa and the rest of the staff, we loved staying here. All food was great, from breakfasts with local produce and fantastic coffee (once it was explained we like espresso type and not filtered coffee), complimentary wine and tasting plate in the bar in the evening and dinner at the restaurant, we could not fault a thing.

We also availed ourselves of the spa facility at the Alchymist Spa just down the road, and wished we had booked 3 or more 4 extra nights to truly indulge. We will definitely be making a return visit to the Alchymist Nosticova on our next holiday to Europe and staying longer to savour the ambience and service. It is in a great location with only a short walk to many of Prague's tourist attractions.

As someone that had never travelled outside Australia, I worried about not speaking anything but English. I needn't have worried. All staff conversed with us as naturally as I would encounter at home. It really made our stay easy to relax and enjoy. Thanks for making the start of our honeymoon so enjoyable.

My only tip is we initially found the rooms very warm, and didn't find all the heaters to adjust them cooler until we almost were ready to leave. The bed was very comfortable and housekeeping efficient and unobtrusive.

This hotel is a bit dated but in a great location as well as being intimate and relaxing. We enjoyed a few days there while taking in Prague this autumn. I recommend having the hotel pick you up at the airport for the 30 minute ride into the city. The hotel staff was wonderful, very helpful and constantly working to help people enjoy their experience in Prague. One evening we were tired and did not feel like going out for dinner so with low expectation made our way down to dinner in the hotel restaurant. Surprise! The chef was outstanding and the dinner excellent. It was a nice addition to our stay there.

The Alchymist Nosticova is more like a home than a Hotel. It is really small but it makes up in character and location. It is away from the hassles and noise of the old city, only a 5-10 minute walk from the Charles Bridge. You can also take the Number 22 Trolley a few minutes walk to the Prague Castle and be there in 15 minutes. Make sure that you buy a ticket prior to getting on the trolley as the system works on the honor system.

Dasa and Suasa were great a the front desk as well as our server at Breakfast. They really know the city well. They helped us with tickets with the Opera and Ballet and places to have dinner. The Hotel also provided pick up and return to the airport in their Mercedes and BMW. The drivers were great and very courteous.

The rooms we were specious and nicely decorated. I believe there are about 15 rooms total.

Prague is a beautiful city, but true hospitality is hard to come by there. Alchymist is one of those places. It's comfortable, clean and luxurious. And staff is ready to do anything in thier power to make you feel great.I would like to thank everyone at the "Alchymist" for being welcoming and helpful.I would have given a perfect score, but have to notice two areas that need improvement:Breakfast is lack- luster.Staff needs better training in giving advise about local places to eat- regular tourist spots can't count as qualified suggestions- I ask about local eateries in every town and usually get great suggestions.By all means would return to this hotel.

Many thanks for taking the time to leave your positive feedback following your recent stay at Alchymist Nosticova Palace.

My husband and I, along with 2 other couples recently stayed at this LOVELY hotel and I would HIGHLY recommend it to anyone looking for a “home away from home” while on holiday. The Alchymist is more like staying with your friends.family rather than staying at your typical hotel. It is small and quaint and the staff will do everything they can to make you feel warm and welcome, like family. It is situated on a quiet street, but within a few minutes’ walk to the hustle and bustle of the Charles Bridge and the liveliness of Prague. The breakfast is top notch, consisting of several fresh squeezed juices, a wide selection of meat and chesses, fresh fruits, any egg dish you can think of can be made for you, and a huge hit amongst my family members was the homemade yogurt. The staff will make you again, feel like family during your breakfast experience. So much so, that once you order from Nazar on your first day, when he sees you on your second day, he will already have your specialties (be it your customized egg dish, whichever coffee you prefer, an extra yogurt for your room etc) prepared without even having to ask. That’s service!! The daily drink in the restaurant is a nice treat to come back to and relax before you go out and hit the town again, or settle in your beautiful room. Dinner at the restaurant is a must in my opinion, such a gorgeous setting with fantastic food and wonderful service. (Do you see the commonality – the service here cannot be beaten!)My only one complaint, albeit VERY minor, is that our particular room had very little counter space in the bathroom, which having traveled extensively through Europe, I know is common, but having seen my family members other 2 rooms, we were disappointed, BUT everything else was so spectacular in this hotel, that the counter space didn’t even matter. All in all, if you are looking for a great place to stay while in Prague, stay here and you will not be disappointed.

We have stayed at the Alchymist Nosticova on our past two recent trips to Prague. The experience is truly 5 star! The rooms are gothically decorated and are spacious. The staff at front desk are very eager to assist with restaurant reservations, etc. We have used the driver service provided by the hotel to pick us up and take us to the airport and train station alike. The bar is a fun place to wind down after a busy day sightseeing or have a drink before or after dinner. We will definitely stay here again on our next visit to Prague!

I spent a short time at this hotel, which was in an excellent location as well as being beautiful with wonderful staff. I loved the walk through cobbled streets to the Charles Bridge which meant easy access to the centre of town while at the same time being in a quiet area on the same side of the river as the castle.
